An Old CoDfederate's Yarn

From the Atlanta Constitution.
''If you mad been around lust after
the rout at Nashville" said an old
soldier yesterday, you would have
thought there were 1000 elephants
loose in the country. The ground
was covered with snow, and, as you
may imagine, the air was eager and
nipping. The routed Confederates put
down the snow-covered pixies making
for Corinth, and thence to Mobile,
240 miles distant. We were clothed
with nothing but shirt and breeches,
omparatively few owning old hats,
and only here and there q fortunate
man with pair OF shoes. The half
starved and half-frozen men wrapped
their feet in old sacks and any sort OF
rags they could get until the tracks
they made were great round holes N
the snow like the tracks OF elephants.
Gen. Lowery-God bless his soul
tried to do something for us. He
had some shoemakers, and at night
would make the soldiers report
at bis headquarters, where the shoe
shop would be located. Green hides
not an hour off the cows backs
were used for shoemaking. a soldier
would plant his foot on the hairy side
of the hide and the shoemaker would
cut out round piece OF skin, slit it in
various directions, literally sew the
foot up in the raw hide with the skin
side inward. The shoes were good for
about twenty-four hours use and
then they would draw our feet and we
would have TO cast them aside and go
back to the bagging. When | got to
Mobile with q lot of the fellows We
took quarters IN warehouse. Theo-
dore Hamilton was playing "The
Wife" at the Mobile Theater, and ]
sculfied around and got a ticket. /
went to the Cheater bareheaded and
barefooted and in my shirt sleeves. /
thought it was the best show | ever
saw. After the performance an old
man carried me home with bin and
gave me long-tailed coat, hat and
pair OF shoes. When ] got back to
the warehouse the boys tore the tails
off the coat, bnt she was double
